A sample of compound A (a clear, colorless gas) is analyzed and found to contain 4.27g carbon and 5.69g oxygen. A sample of compound B (also a clear, colorless gas) is analyzed and found to contain 5.19g carbon and 13.84g oxygen. Are these data an example of the law of definite proportions, the law of multiple proportions, or neither? What do these data tell you about substances A and B?

law of multiple proportions

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that, if two elements A and B, combine to form more than one chemical compound. Then the various masses of one element A, which combine separately with a fixed mass of element B are in  simple multiple ratio.

We can see that the ratio of oxygen that combines with carbon in the two compounds( A and B) is 1:2. This demonstrates the law of multiple proportions.

The substances A and B must be CO and CO2 respectively.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
